I have done it a couple of ways.
When I was doing a "paper" book, I kept a binder like Jen with one page protector/week and I would just throw the stuff in there til I was ready to use it.
Now that I am all digital of PL, I scan everything - tickets, kids' art work, miscellaneous schoolwork here & there, receipts or labels, restaurant business cards, etc. Just anything that could be fun to add "flavor" to the book or jog my memory. I save those files to the same monthly chronological folders I use for my photos. So, when I go to scrap the photos, all the other stuff is right there too.
For both approaches, I use just a regular annual calendar/planner things that I keep around to jot notes in. Sometimes I remember and sometimes I don't. Sometimes I'll go back and fill in info from a week or month ago. It's better than nothing! I tried an app for this but I never remembered to use the app - it helps me to have the hard-copy planner sitting there on my desk to remind me.
